I can say from experience with the S4R (unfortunately not the 996), that it can haul ass.
There are quite a few people we would ride with on various liter jap bikes that couldn't keep up with my fiance at all. two weeks after getting it, we go on a 2200 mile trip through arkansas in 5 days. after the first day, he had worn the little michelin man off the sides of the Pilot Roads that were on there.
I don't think there's a single issue with the way the S4R handles...and for around town riding, I'd pick the S4R if I were older...
personally though, the bikes that people say are torture, fit me just fine....lol
